Cebu Pacific, a popular low-cost carrier in the Philippines, recently celebrated the arrival of its 12th Airbus A321neo aircraft during 2024. The sleek 236-seater jet landed gracefully at Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Manila on September 26, 2024, marking another milestone for the airline. This newest addition, with the registration MSN 12067 | RP-C4146, embarked on its journey from the Airbus assembly line in Hamburg, Germany, before making stops in Oman and Vietnam en route to its final destination in Manila.

This aircraft delivery comes on the heels of Cebu Pacific acquiring another fuel-efficient A320neo just a couple of weeks ago, reinforcing the company's dedication to making air travel more accessible and eco-friendly. Xander Lao, the President and Chief Commercial Officer of Cebu Pacific, expressed excitement about the latest addition to their fleet, emphasizing the airline's commitment to sustainable practices and expanding their route network for the benefit of their passengers.

In a significant move earlier in July 2024, Cebu Pacific announced the signing of a substantial Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Airbus for the purchase of up to 152 A321neo aircraft, totaling a staggering USD $24 billion (PHP 1.4 trillion) based on list prices. This historic deal is the largest aircraft order ever seen in the history of Philippine aviation, highlighting Cebu Pacific's ambitious growth plans and steadfast focus on modernizing its fleet.

The airline's partnership with Airbus and Pratt & Whitney signifies a remarkable step forward in not only enhancing customer experience but also in aligning with sustainability goals. By continuously introducing fuel-efficient planes into their operations, Cebu Pacific is making strides towards achieving their ambitious net zero target by 2050 while simultaneously broadening their reach and offering exciting new travel destinations for their loyal customers.
